Computer woes

[scottish2]

Well both Paul and I have been considering just building our own. Might not get the support but we'd know what the heck is in it.

My daughter has a Dell and she has been well satisfied with her system. We have a Sony here at the house and it is about 5 years old, but it has been updated pretty much so,  my hubby keeps threatning to get rid of it, but decided on a  ham radio. Poor me,  I guess this Sony will have to do for a while more.  Unless, I win the lottery!

Your best bet is to select the "Real Audio" option to play the station, then  "refresh" the home page when you hear something you like. The playlist pop up seems to be javascript, which unfortuately is not a browser controlable feature. HTH WG

We are very open to adding features including new playlist tools. Just let me know what exactly you want the playlist tool to do.

Also, just wanted to thank everyone for answering peoples questions here on the forum. It has been extremely difficult to find time to get on the forum and email. Especially with my recent computer woes! Most of my spare time is being taken by a Web Tech certificate program I am enrolled in - about 20 hours a week on top of a full-time job! So if you don't see me for days at a stretch, I am not ignoring anyone, just had not had the time to response.

The course ends in May and should give me the skills to make Highlander Radio even better as well as change to an IT career. So I appreciate everyone that takes the time to answer peoples questions, etc.

If you need support, just call the local university and talk to the A+ teacher. He can hook you up with a student to help you. The joke in jolly greens' class was if you need something to practise on, don't worry Bob or Mary have one up in the class room. They brought in family and friends computers to be checked fixed and up graded. That's how I know about, how hard the dells are to work with.

Nah if I need support 10-1 there was something serious with the system out of the box. Other then that issue I don't think I have called tech support in a number of years. I know my old IBM (Still have it but slow (Though sometimes I wonder that's a 475Mhz this ones a 1.3Ghz and I sometimes wonder which is actually faster LOL)) But my old IBM I never ever had any troubles with it. Would redo the hard drive every so often just to clean things up but never a problem where I needed suport even my compaq before that was fine. So...

Now your talking OLD! The first one we ever built was an 8088. It was up graded to a 288. Son-in Law got a 388 HP for Christmas, the year before he got married. (Same Christmass he proposed. In January the 488 came out so we built one of them for everyone in familly with more and more up grades. (like the never ending story)  Before that we had an oddisey, the one you plugged in the TV, and computer Mags had these long programs you typed in. You got a word to scroll across the screen and got excited. But back then people paid hundreds of dollars to have a square ball bounce back and forth on the screen. We got the ultiment in tecnallagy. Our computer was too have growable possabilities. Who knew about Bill Gates in his garage, with his apple.

I can get even older then that try a 75Mhz processor. Was my first IBM style system with like 8 MB's of RAM and a 14,4 modem was way back in 97. And you want to get even older then that try a Commadore 64 and it's predicesor a Vic 20 those were my families first computers. Still remember programing in basic back then. LOL Boy does that date me.

Everyone should be happy! For a phone I have a tin can with a string, for a calculator I have an abacus and for a computer I ask whichever of my kids has their shoes off do do the " figuring"
